+## Pipeline metrics
+
+If you have Elasticsearch 2.x and Grafana 2.6 or above then you can use pipeline metric aggregations like
+**Moving Average** and **Derivative**. Elasticsearch pipeline metrics require another metric to be based on. Use the eye icon next to the metric
+to hide metrics from appearing in the graph. This is useful for metrics you only have in the query to be used
+in a pipeline metric.

+
+## Templating
+
+The Elasticsearch datasource supports two types of queries you can use to fill template variables with values.
+
+### Possible values for a field
+
+```json
+{"find": "terms", "field": "@hostname"}
+```
+
+### Fields filtered by type
+```json
+{"find": "fields", "type": "string"}
+```
+
+### Multi format / All format
+Use lucene format.
